Have Fun!

[RilmAlime67]

Enjoy, Doc.

PEHK/Roddick 1st round. I should get in my car and drive to Cincy. My personal all time favorite mens match was their '08 AO 3rd rounder.

[eocavrWM]

Much appreciation to the draw gods for putting three of my THRNY scrubs in the Federer/Troicki section. The only upside is that I'm guaranteed to get at least a few points.

[envenonearo]

Oh Djokovic/Federer and Murray/Nadal. Who could have guessed?

Or Djokovic/(Insert Random ATP Player Name Here) vs. (Insert Random ATP Player Name Here)/(Insert Random ATP Player Name Here).

.....As long as you don't have Roger on your team.

[eocavrWM]

.....As long as you don't have Roger on your team.

I do not.

But I might trade in Troicki given this draw.

[envenonearo]

I do not.

But I might trade in Troicki given this draw.

......Venus will end up winning as many matches as Roger here.

[hapasaparaz]

Or Djokovic/(Insert Random ATP Player Name Here) vs. (Insert Random ATP Player Name Here)/(Insert Random ATP Player Name Here).

Yeah, I thought that before I posted. It is amazing the number of times the top 4 have been drawn like that over the last few years though.

[Vomephems]

WTA Qualifying draw is better then some Main Draws we've seen this year!

[Zugaxxsn]

I will be a volunteer Marshal in Cincinnati from Sunday to Saturday next week.
Needless to say, I am very excited

[Nosmas]

Oh, neat.

Hope you have some fun between the actual work!

Very nice. And, hopefully, Shahar will last a couple of rounds to add to your enjoyment.

I hope to get to Cincy sometime in the next couple of years.

Make the most of it Doc. Like anything in life, you will get out of the experience what you choose to put into it. I've made lots of new friends volunteering for the LA tourney. In fact we are planning a transpo tennis party. It is a whole different feeling when you are part of the tournament as opposed to when you are attending as a fan. You feel an obligation for the tournament to do well. I think you will enjoy it quite a bit.

Clijsters is officially out of Cincy.
